Chapter 2490: Defending Others? Everything Is Only for Mr. Zhang!

But in the final analysis, as long as Wang Wang Canghai got his hands on the Miasma Dust Pearl, he could choose to vanish in an instant. Perhaps after some time had passed, Zhang Lin would be able to find where he had gone. He believed that by then he would have already worked out the specific method for using the Miasma Dust Pearl — on this point, Wang Wang Canghai was more certain than anyone.

Because this premise existed, Wang Wang Canghai had arranged the previous plan. But now, upon seeing the hesitant look in Yang Lu's eyes, he prepared once again to use his well-practiced method — to sow discord and play on human nature among every member of Archaeology Team Two.

As long as he could use such methods or a disguise to infiltrate Archaeology Team Two, even if Zhang Lin saw through the situation, so long as he didn't tell Yang Lu the truth from the start, Wang Wang Canghai could carry out his scheme of sowing dissension. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Wang Wang Canghai could not help but stand up inside the train car.

At the next stop he could take a plane directly, then reach the outer perimeter of Archaeology Team Two's current location. Relying on himself alone, Wang Wang Canghai was fully capable of entering Kelamir Mountain by himself.

Then on to the present-day Kunlun Divine Palace. Even if the entrance had already been sealed shut, Wang Wang Canghai believed that by using the positioning given by the star chart earlier, he could find another entrance. But immediately afterward, his brow furrowed slightly.

Finding the entrance was no problem at all, but what Wang Wang Canghai was now wrestling with was whether he, alone, could actually open the entrance itself.

Or rather, once it was opened, if an avalanche came crashing down from above, whether he could escape smoothly — these were all issues that needed to be considered.

Of course, the most important thing was still the former. If it required a large number of people to set explosives and blast the entrance open, and one didn't need to worry about the avalanche burying the entrance afterward, then the time Wang Wang Canghai alone would have to waste would simply be too much!

His best option was still to find some people who could go down into the tomb with him. Whether paying money or using other things as the price, this choice was absolutely the most optimistic one for him.

But after thinking it over for a long while, Wang Wang Canghai let out a sigh. This time he had originally wanted to act alone — on the one hand, because he could not trust anyone else.

On the other hand, time was now pressing, and there was no time left to find a bunch of random people to go down with him.

And even if he did find people now, they would absolutely be clueless nobodies. The somewhat famous tomb raiders were surely all watching Archaeology Team Two's livestream — the locations of the two archaeology teams were places they would avoid like the plague. How could they possibly charge straight in? Wouldn't that just be seeking death?

Clearly, no one wanted to use this method to send themselves off to the western heaven for no reason at all, so the problem of finding people was, for Wang Wang Canghai, even harder to resolve.

This was also the reason Wang Wang Canghai was so melancholy at present. Whether now or in the past, this kind of thing was never Wang Wang Canghai's strong suit.

And given his status, he didn't need to worry too much about such matters — naturally there were subordinates to handle it for him. But now Zhang Lin had appeared, and everything had tipped off balance.

Wang Wang Canghai was very clear on one answer: Zhang Lin would compress his room for choice smaller and smaller, until in the end he had no room to choose at all.

This was the reason Wang Wang Canghai increasingly loathed and hated Zhang Lin. Actually, standing in Zhang Lin's position, holding the initiative, he could leave himself a way out.

Moreover, Wang Wang Canghai had been compromising again and again, and at the very end he had even tentatively tried to seek Zhang Lin's help. As long as Zhang Lin could help him complete that ritual, he would not interfere with Archaeology Team Two's lifting of the curse — he might even be able to tell Zhang Lin about the matter of the Ten-Thousand Slave King.

But even so, Zhang Lin did not agree, although Wang Wang Canghai had not stated this request outright.

Still, he believed that with Zhang Lin's intelligence, he would certainly pick up on the subtext. But Zhang Lin had deflected and talked about other things — that was a refusal — and in the end had even told him to wash his neck clean and wait for death.

If it were merely a matter of stretching out his neck to be slaughtered, perhaps Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't worry about so many problems. The crucial point was that not only would he have to pay with his life, but his soul might very well be imprisoned as well — and that was an outcome Wang Wang Canghai would refuse even at the point of death.

But now it seemed everything had changed. Wang Wang Canghai no longer needed to fret over the things he had been most worried about at the start — this was the best situation, at least as far as Wang Wang Canghai was concerned.
